Marion, MP for Motherwell and Wishaw, revealed her own experience, saying: “Baby-loss is such an important issue. It’s one of many taboos that people didn’t talk about for a long, long time, and has affected so many familes. “To have this safe space for people to begin to grieve and be counselled, is such a help when you have a bereavement, it’s absolutely amazing.
“I’d like to pay tribute to Louise and her family for their courage and persistence, and thank the staff here at UHW for their compassion and hard work behind the scenes to support families through their bereavement journey.
